Technology has enhanced the interest in learning about genealogy - the art of studying family history and investigating the ancestry of a family tree. While there are tens of thousands of Blog postings and websites dedicated to genealogy, The Photo Preservation Center - an educational division of ScanMyPhotos.com - has commissioned a study to reveal the very best sites and is announcing the winners of the 2008 Artistry of Genealogy Awards.
Customers were contacted in a telephone survey of 945 ScanMYPhotos.com customers across the US from January 12-March 24, who identified their favorite websites for each category.
The awards coincide with April's ‘The Great American Photo Scanning Month’ to encourage having the 3.5 trillion analog photo snapshots digitally preserved," said Mitch Goldstone, Photo Preservation Center chair and ScanMyPhotos.com president/CEO.
